So now that discord has made a major oopsie, people are now talking about alternatives. However I do not see people mention XMPP a lot (Compared to Matrix, which gets mentioned a lot).
So I was wondering if we all could brainstorm & share:
- what features Discord has that XMPP currently does not
- & whether those “features” are being worked on
- & if so then; useful links can be provided.
Also let’s keep this post as active as possible to track development, if you are interested.


The XSF follows the IETF naming convention where “experimental” means it hasn’t been in production use for a decade pretty much 🤷
The message moderation XEP is widely supported by XMPP clients since a few years already and works fine. Nothing “experimental” about it anymore.
